A president must threaten bodily harm or engage in other criminality to be shown to have obstructed

justice?

“Moreover, it is almost invariably the case that someone attempting to obstruct an investigation simultaneously engages in other nefarious activities, such as destroying evidence, suborning perjury, bribing witnesses, or threatening them with (or actually inflicting) bodily harm. That is critically important.” John Malcolm, Heritage Foundation


The Committee Dems should get a Medal of Honor for not laughing in that fool’s face.

That was not how it worked with the Nixon smoking gun tape.

Tricky Dick did not threaten anyone on that tape.
